About
the
images: Prior
to
April 2003, all my images were captured on film and scanned.
Most of my work since then has been done on the Canon EOS-10D,
20D, 40D, and 6D, as well as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 and
LX100. I
process images with Picture
Window Pro,
a superb program that deserves to be better known. Manipulation is
limited to dodging, burning, and adjusting color and contrast-- routine
operations in a conventional darkroom that can be performed with far
more
precision digitally.

Since
July 2003 I have been working more than full time on Imatest,
so much of this website is out-of-date. Imatest
is used by a great many companies to develop and test digital cameras,
and is now working 24/7 in hundreds of production lines.

News: I will be having a show of photographs at the National Center for Atmospheric Researchfrom August 1 through September 30, 2016. You are invited to the opening, Saturday, August 13, 5-8PM.Directions: From Broadway in Boulder, take Table Mesa Drive west (toward the mountains) all the way to the end.I've put up a blog to post the images in the show as well as other recent images.The prints are large and contain amazing detail.

November
2010.
See my interview
with Michael Reichmann of Luminous Landscape-com.July 2006. Gamutvision
released! Visualize color gamuts, gamut
mappings, and rendering intents. Evaluate ICC profile quality, analyze
printer performance using downloaded profiles and scanned test prints,
and see precisely how an image will change when printed.Gamutvision is a
great tool for learning color management in depth.If
you've been wondering what I've been up to, now you know.

September
2005.
I cannot update this site as frequently as I'd like because most of
my energy is going into Imatest.
January 2005. I posted images from
my India trip,
December 2004.

September
2004. Imatest,
my program for measuring sharpness and image quality in digital cameras
and digitized film images, has been released. You can now
download a trial version and purchase the full version for a very
reasonable price.
It has kept me very busy for the last few months.
I've used it
to compare the resolution of the Canon
EOS-10D
and 20D.
It is being used in reviews by Imaging-resource.com
and Digitalcamerainfo.com,
a new digital camera review site from the creators of Camcorderinfo.com.
A number
of European sites are planning to use it.

April
2004. I posted a few
images
from my trip to
Monument Valley/Hunt's Mesa (a workshop with Steve
Kossack) and Canyonlands. Part
2
also has some beautiful images.

William
Corey (left) was an extraordinary
photographer who worked with 8x10 and 8x20 view cameras. He specialized
in the great
gardens of Japan, splitting his time between Boulder,
Colorado and Japan. William
passed away March 31, 2008. We
miss him very much.

Sean McHugh was a chemical engineering graduate student at
Cambridge University (UK)
and a superb photographer (sample on the left) when he started Cambridgeincolour.com,
which is well worth visiting for its tutorials as well as images. His
images capture the
spirit of Cambridge about as well as Atget
captured
Paris (that's saying a lot). His intuitive understanding of design equals that
of the great Japanese printmakers. (Can you tell I like his work?)

I
enjoy meeting
photographers. So if you are planning
to pass through Boulder and you'd like to visit or go for a
photographic hike, please let
me know.

Lyrics
by Peter
Yarrow
who uses language with
elegance, grace and beauty
to convey the light
of the human spirit

Added after Peter's
September 6, 2001 concert
in honor of the victimsand the survivors
of September 11.

What has the
"War on Terror"
done to Peter's vision?

You remember when you felt
each person
mattered
That we all had to care or all was lost
But now you see believers turned to cynics
And you wonder was the struggle worth the cost

Then you see someone too young to know the difference
And the veil of isolation in their eyes
And inside you know you’ve got to leave them something
Or the hope for something better slowly dies

Carry on my sweet survivor Carry on my lonely
friend
Don’t give up on the dream And
don’t let it end
Carry on my sweet survivor Tho’ you know
that something’s
gone
For everything that matters Carry on Sweet survivor

Hunt's
Mesa,
overlooking Monument Valley, is an amazingly sacred place. Every rock
is alive and has a story to tell if you can silence your mind and
listen. After editing this image in color and Black & White I
decided I preferred this version, which maintains the drama of
B&W
but provides a hint of color with an antique feeling that stimulates
the imagination. A 13x19" print made on the Epson R2400 is
breathtaking; comparable in quality to the finest silver-based prints.
The landscape is far too grand and sweeping for smaller print sizes.
